Knoxville, Tenn., -- Oct. 24, 2005 -- The stunning all new 38 Sundancer embodies a glorious marriage of form and function. This latest addition to Sea Ray's Sport Yacht line offers the luxurious accommodations, excellent engineering, meticulous attention to detail that boaters expect from Sea Ray. Among the highlights of her sculpted exterior is a seamlessly
constructed fiberglass arch that features a forward, molded-in hardtop to shade the driver and companion seats and an aft canvas soft top. "That's all new to the rest of the industry," says Jeff Ellis, Sea Ray's vice president of Sport Yacht & Yacht Sales. "It's racier looking."
Another smart innovation aboard the 38 Sundancer is the central transom walk-through that not only looks great, but also allows functional use of the space to either side. At 39 feet overall, with a beam of 12'6", this extraordinary vessle is brimming with well-planned details that make the entire yachting experience even more enjoyable.
Life is good at the helm where the Eurostyle swivel bucket seat features a flip-up, thigh-rise bolster, cushioned armrests and a heavy-duty pedestal with slide, swivel and pneumatic vertical adjustments. The captain also has digital remote control of the 12V AM/FM single CD player with six-disc CD changer and eight speakers.
The aft cockpit is designed to give all onboard a great seat, with a generous wraparound settee. A wet bar with Corian® countertop, sink, and cooler storage completes the perfect setting for a party. When it's time to make a splash, the large integral/extended swim platform with a heavy-duty stainless steel swim ladder provides easy access to the water. For those seeking diversions beyond the open sea and sky, the 38 Sundancer is appointed with first-class media accoutrements such as the standard LCD drop-down, 20-inch flatscreen TV with DVD in the salon. The standard Sirius® satellite receiver with antenna includes six months of activation on Sirius Satellite Radio.
The 38's elegant interior offers sleeping quarters for six, including a private, forward master stateroom with a full-size island-style berth complete with innerspring mattress and all linens, plus a 17-inch flatscreen TV with DVD. Both the mid-stateroom and salon feature stylishly appointed seating areas that convert to comfortable sleeping berths. Upscale finishes of cherry wood cabinetry with nickel hardware enhance the overall feeling of living the good life.
The innovative split head and shower is certain to be a real crowd pleaser. The toilet and sink are located on one side of the entry to the master stateroom while the shower room is on the other. It just makes more sense to configure the facilities for greater convenience.
The 38 Sundancer is smooth and responsive, powered by a standard pair of 370-horsepower MerCruiser 8.1S Horizon gas inboards with V-drives for compact installation. Yet another of the 38's smart design features is the electrically actuated engine hatch that lifts the entire aft cockpit out of the way when it's time to service the engines. "It gives you a huge amount of access," explains Ellis.
Thanks to the standard SmartCraft instrumentation, System View gauges at the helm monitor the usual fluid levels, as well as depth and fuel flow. They also compute range, interfacing with an onboard GPS. Optional navigation equipment from Northstar, Raymarine and Sea Ray Navigator II are available.
